You Can't Play This Game On Milk & Cookies!
“You can’t play this game on milk and cookies!”
Those were the words of a minor league manager about 20 years ago, hearing about his star player’s late-night exploits the night before.
Baseball is full of colorful characters and colorful quotes. One of the all-time greats came from Cubs outfielder Hack Wilson
, who in 1930 set baseball’s all-time single-season RBI record with 191.
Manager Joe McCarthy had become increasingly irritated by Wilson’s late-night debauchery, which was legendary. One morning, he called the slugger into his office and closed the door. On his desk were two clear drinking glasses – one filled with water, the other with whiskey.
McCarthy dropped a live, squirming worm into the water, and watched it squirm. He dropped the second worm into the whiskey, and it immediately went stiff and died.
McCarthy looked up at Wilson and asked, “So what does that tell you?”
“Well,” replied the hung-over slugger, “It means that as long as I keep drinking, I won’t catch worms!”

A Ballplayer Who Wet The Bed
The following is one of more than 80 stories told in Untold Tales From The Bush Leagues
Baseball is famous for its practical jokers and one of the best we’ve had in Salt Lake was one particular relief pitcher. Unfortunately for this pitcher, one his best pranks was an expensive one for him.
The team was in Vancouver and he waited for a couple of his teammates to leave their room. After the coast was clear, he somehow was able to get into it and proceeded to remove the sheets and blanket from one of the beds. He then took the mattress off of the bed and took it into the shower where he completely soaked it. After he was done, he put the mattress back on the box springs and then made the bed as neatly as the maid that worked in the hotel.
A while later, the two teammates made it back to their room for a mid-day nap. Well, when one of them laid down he went “squish”. He sank down into the cold wet mattress and become soaked as well.
This pitcher had a great laugh until the hotel sent him a bill for $400 to replace the ruined bedding.
-Steve Klauke, Voice of the Salt Lake Bees

Taking Care Of Business
"We were playing in front of 10,000 people. It was the 8th inning; I remember it like it was today. Everybody was on the field except the second baseman. Everybody was just waiting for the second baseman to come out to the field.
So about five minutes later the second baseman came out, and he was ready. He was sprinting to second base, and he’s got toilet paper hanging from his back! In front of 10,000 people!"

Loooooooong Minor League Bus Rides
This is the real glamour of minor league baseball...
It began on a sweltering summer night, in the middle of nowhere.
It began on a sweltering summer night, in the middle of nowhere.
As many of the players slept, the bus came to a stop on the side of desolate I-20. They were without food, beverages or air conditioning, and quite a ways from the next rest stop. As night turned into day, the sun beat down. As the hours began to pass, some players climbed through the crawl hole onto the top of the bus, which – even in the blazing sun – was cooler than the stuffiness inside. Some tried to catch some sleep on top of the bus.
What happened next??
